Komplete 15 Ultimate features the flagship Kontakt 8 along with standout libraries like Alicia’s Electric Keys, Choir: Omnia Essentials, and Action Woodwinds.
It also includes powerful synths such as Massive X, amp sims, and effects from Guitar Rig 7 Pro, as well as industry staples like iZotope’s Ozone 11 Standard.

The 50% discount applies across all full versions of Komplete 15, including Standard, Ultimate, and Collector’s Edition, offering a range of packages at different price points.
Arturia
Arturia launched a 50% OFF deal on flagship software in preparation for the Black Friday season.
New customers can get V Collection X, Pigments, Analog Lab, and FX Collection 5 at half price, and existing users are eligible for even greater savings.
I regularly use Arturia’s effects for music production and sound design. At 50%, I highly recommend them to anyone looking to expand their software arsenal with creative effects.
If you already own Arturia software, unlock additional discounts by logging in on arturia.com. The sale runs from November 7th to December 10th.
